SA Home Affairs reacts to rapper's claims

The Home Affairs denied Mos Def's accusation by stating that it was a security-related action and had no political interference.

Home Affairs Director-General stated that the American rapper entered SA several times using a visitor's visa on US passport and not a world passport, unlike his claims.

The rapper was bailed out while his family was asked to leave the country by 29 January.

What is a world passport?

A world passport, issued by World Service Authority, is a document in the interest of protecting “the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country”. It is accepted in 150 countries excluding South Africa as stated by its Home Affairs Department.
